Just purchased my Mini 4 pro. And I flew it for the 1st time today. This drone is insanely AWESOME. For me, it is perfect. DJI does a great job of making a drone that has amazing capabilities.
Does it have a D-cinelike mode? The only thing I dont like about the dji mini 4 is the D-log mode which make the video quality looks warmer and darker. I like it more bluish tone and not too warm and dark just balance but also with high contrast. Please respond quick. Im doubting which one is to buy whether the dji mini 3 pro or the dji mini 4 pro. I like all the upgrades of the mini 4 pro except for the cinematography mode color quality.
@klein8205 To be honest, the mini 4 pro was my 1st DJI product. Before that, all I had was a Heli-Max one and a couple Walmart drones. I'm still learning both DJIs. So I cannot honestly answer that question.
You are so right about this small drone having its failings. It isn't a patch on my Chinook with a full film crew and professional editing suite on board. C'mon what do you expect for a sub 250g drone?
Have both Mavic 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro, i find myself grabbing the mini more often. Small and compact is super nice. Mavic 3 Pro - 950g + Mini 4 Pro 249g Some places require license for anything 250g or higher
Same with me I'm yet to make a comparison. As I love the mavic pro 3... do you know if we can pair the mavic pro 3 to the mini pro 4 controller?? Is there a way to do it. I'm tipping maybe not?
These are not just reasons not to buy a specific mini 4 pro... He is comparing what almost all light weight drones won't do versus big ones. So if you are looking to upgrade your e.g. mini 2 or other make, stay withing low budget or wanna meet most countries legalities to fly in cities -> DEFINITELY BUY!
Unfortunately, we cant all live in the US. Here in Canada, and many other countries it doesn't matter if you register it or not. You're legally not allowed to fly in certain "red zones" with a drone over 249 grams without transportation Canada approving a flight plan, which is a ridiculous pain in the ass. So yes, there can be SIGNIFICANT value in having a drone like this.@@techoperatives2232
This is a small, lightweight drone and that’s why I think people will buy it. To me it’s the equivalent of a small point and shoot compact camera , if you want pro-grade results, you’ve gotta buy the right tools. Manage your expectations and you won’t be disappointed.
I do appreciate the work he has put in the video, but it would make more sence to compare the DJI mini 4 pro to other 249gr drones. And (after watching some) it seems to be top of this segment on the market. In most EU countries you have to be licensed to use drones above that 249gr. That means you can’t fly a drone with multiple lenses, a bigger sensor, more capable speed of heavier load to fight against the wind as these are ALL heavier. I would recommend to get a license if you can make money out of your drone. Otherwise, have fun with your 249gr model 😎
Dude, with the amount of regulations to jump through with the heavier drones and travelling to different countries, it makes no sense to own the bigger drones. Plus, unless you have UA-cam premium, most folks will only see your videos in 1080 or 720P. I realize you might have professional clients that want the best possible images, but for most of us the Mini 4 Pro is the answer, and don't forget that the other drones you mentioned in this comparison cost at least 3X as much as the Mini 4 Pro, also what most of us would never spend on a hobby drone.
I love this video as while it's saying it's not as good as other drones, those other drones are 35% or even 250% more expensive than the Mini 4 Pro. In a very clever way this is still really praising the Mini 4 Pro for what it can do. P.S. Regarding the storage... in the UK the drone weight limit is 250g and the Mini 4 Pro weighs in at a coincidental 249g... maybe that had something to do with it?
No, not really... DJI just put less internal storage so that the only other options are to buy a MicroSD card or get the Mavic 3 Pro or Air 3. They could have easily put in 16GB, or even 32GB, because storage only impacts weight by a few milligrams, but they didn't.
I am looking at buying a Mini Pro 4. I do not use a smartphone, am I able to use a Mini Pro 4 without a smartphone and apps ? I have wifi and a laptop to set it up. I am in the UK (england) Thanks
You have often made comparisons with the mavic pro. I find the comparison inappropriate with a drone that is more than twice as expensive. Besides, it's not a negative point just because another (twice as expensive) drone is better.
The price difference between the Mini 4 Pro and the Air 3 is like $2-300. That's not the purpose of this video. What he says is very accurate. This hobby isn't cheap. With content creation in a windy environment the Mini 4 is useless to me. I think Ill pony up the extra $300 and have a solid option for flight in winds.
???? Do you think it is compareable?????? Can you make compare with price range and another drone product like skydio vs mini 4.. base on the price line which one is the best...
the purpose of DJI 4 is that you do not need a license for this drone, but for Mavericks you already need a license and other better quality drones. It's like if you wanted to ride a scooter or a car 😂😁😄
It’s not, that’s just the lazy mind at work. You read “reasons not to buy” and assume that’s the bottom line and the conclusion is not to buy it. It’s incredibly useful to dig up downsides of a drone particularly in today’s sponsored UA-cam landscapes where all models get praise and particular shortcomings get swept under the rug. It’s great to have a real pros and cons list when buying.
Video quality is only as good as the screen of the viewer. You can shoot all day with the highest quality but it all comes down to the audiences screen.
I bought one and am happy with it. That being said, I had to get a replacement about two weeks in, due to a crash landing during a high wind event on Kauai. It was my fault though. I ignored the severe wind warnings. Definitely recommend getting DJI's Care Refresh.
Dude all your tips are important, but everything are depends of the pilot. About the mini 4 pro if anyone has the mini 3 pro is not so good to have mini 4 pro. But for first drone is a good gadget. For the focal length is depends of everyone. Thank you 🙏
Feedback: Literally ALL the CONS mentioned here are just, if this is not the right DJI drone for you, there are more expensive dji drones out! Dont get me wrong im sure its a fantastic drone but if you could not find anything actually wrong with the drone by seriously testing it just dont make this video. You could have literally said everything from this video in your 5 reasons for it video. Like: So thats why its great but if you need an even faster, more stable drone with more lenses and better quality you should look at the more high end dji drones..

However, there is literally no excuse they can easily fit 128 gb of internal storage as standard for all drone, im not sure why they dont (granted i actually prefer using an SD card over using anything else)).
Hey mate, nice review. When you say too windy or pretty windy, how windy is that?? Like how many mph do you think it was in the situations you’re talking about? Be really helpful, cheers
Wind is the biggest factor i get frustrated with my mini sometimes, but i wouldn't get rid of it. Its just so nice and compact and easy to carry with you. I'd like to get a mavic aswell if i can afford it.
I currently have the magic Air 2s. Do you think it’s worth upgrading to this drone? Would it be considered an upgrade for that matter? I’m conflicted. The only I’m drawn to the mini 4 pro is the side sensors, which mine lacks. Please help!
I've been flying drones for 3 years, I've used mavic 3, mavic Air2, Mavic Air2s and Mini 2, mini pro3 and finally mini pro 4. I think the best drone for me is mavic air 2s, but now there's a problem. old Remote No updates So I haven't used it yet. Until I buy a smart remote that works with the mini 3, from my experience the mini pro4 flies well for video recording. The surfer is not very tall, the wind is not very strong, because it does not have as good wind resistance as a large drone. I still make a lot of drones. Not from falling into the water or getting hit, but because I used it too hard. And the disadvantage of the mini pro, if you use it heavily for 2 hours, the battery will get hot. and remind you to fly back immediately But if you use the automatic home mode, it will be slow and the opportunity that will fall is very high I always solved the problem by flying the drone back myself. And another problem is Sensors often break down Unable to take off, software problems. I have a dream that one day I will have money to buy all brands of drones to fly. I really love flying drones because drones are something that challenges my abilities, competes in drones. The most exciting thing is flying a drone without glasses, but using your own eyes and using your brain to remember the levers and having to survive. Attack other drones that will run to the finish line 😂😂😂 The winner will survive. There is a soundtrack for the competition. Use limitless speed. Below is water, height limit from water level, time limit, and only 3 batteries can be used. I'm just imagining it for fun. But if it really happened in America, many people would watch and be very excited to see who will be number 1 in the world 😂😂😂 Thank you for the video you shared. Your video is great. The view in Hawaii is very beautiful 😇
For whatever reason, am considering trading in my Mavic 3 Classic and going to the a mini 4 configuration. Wondering if how disappointd I woul dbe unless I go gwith the mini 4 pro, but then again, that costs close to what I can get for my Mavic 3. BUt given all the hampered areas (Natl Parks, State Parks, etc), I am finind it more more frustrating to have a drone I cannot use. Thoughts? BTW, loved my Mavic Pro (2015), had hoped Mavic 3 with hasselblad optics would have been that much better, and outweigh all the S/W safeguard rubbish & internet requirments hamper this drone. It's questionable....
O wow that's what i needed! Comapring smallest fancy drone to big mavic 3 and saying disadvantages that are coming from its size forgetting advantage which is actually that size! Thanks for review pall!
I have a Mavic Pro 3, Mavic Classic and the Air2S. I'm selling the Classic to get the Mini 4Pro Combo+ because of the smaller footprint and vertical shooting. Am I nuts?
Hi, would I be able to use all the possible features on RC N2 that RC 2 offers along with the mini pro 4? For eg: would I be able to use active 360 tracking on N2 controller, etc? Thanks in advance!
The Mini 4 Pro is the best sub-250g drone in the world. Too many rules for over-250 now, in the UK. So bigger drones just aren’t bothering with. In the UK, to fly a bigger drone now, especially at a wedding (for example), you have to jump through so many hoops. Flyering local houses, setting up take off and landing sites, wind socks, wind meters, distances to keep away from people and property.
Biggest advantages are the ability to fly in more places (in Canada with its strict laws regulating bigger drones), it's discreetness, and the convenience of carrying it around. 🎉
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
Do you have any experiences with the hyperlapse on the mavic 3 pro? I've been getting constant shakes and unusable time-lapse video's. I gave up trying
I'm simply gonna jump to a conclusion, as I haven't watched this video...I CANNOT find anything my new mini 4 Pro doesn't do better than my old Mavic 2 Pro. Maybe it's a bit less stable in wind, but I'm not bummed in the least. It shoots better, too. Brilliant little machine. The new OcuSync is the game changer for me.
Agree, also have the Mavic 2, the only good thing is the 1 inch sensor 25% bigger than my Mavic mini 4, the rest is much better the mini, battery performance, size, weight avoiding a license etc..
Thumbnail says it all "Clicked Thumbs down" this was like comparing a Civic to a Mercedes, of course the larger more expensive is going to have more features people may want, but to say don't buy, and contradict with having a " Snag your mini pro here: with his affiliate link, it bad form, Just click bait and trying to make money off of people knowing the Mini 4 pro is a good Sub 250g drone.
1:24 voltage is also a key factor - Air 3 flies on 4S batteries, Minis fly on 2S - that is a significant factor especially when the battery is almost empty.
I live in Canada. You basically don't need any permits to fly this drone. For whatever this drone is capable of, this is a #1 choice for anyone looking to buy something like this in its class. Hands down!
Thanks for the info. I got the 4pro and i will start with this anyway. If i get pro and time i will check the bigger ones. In Finland there is a restrictions above 250g.
I am looking at buying a Mini Pro 4. I do not use a smartphone, am I able to use a Mini Pro 4 without a smartphone ? I have wifi and a laptop to set it up. I am in the UK (england) Thanks
It comes with its own remote control, you just won't be able to get the live feed from the camera, unless you use a smartphone, or the rc type controller with the screen that is sold separately.
3 cameras for 3x the price. You get what you pay for. I could only afford the mini 4 pro and for someone that never had a drone before, it’s a perfect fit.
The main reason I haven't bought a Mini4 Pro is none of the current versions of DJI goggles work with this drone's O4 video transmission system. Hopefully DJI will come up with new goggles for this new O4 transmission system soon.
Good advice, but I‘m not interested in all the hassle involved with passing a test, and registering a bigger and heavier drone, so 249g is the limit for me.. 🤷🏼♂️
does anyone have a Mini 4 Pro who could tell me what the sound is like? how far away can you hear it? i have an Avata and it was a super fast impulse buy, and i really regret it now because Avata makes the loudest and most annoying "REEE!" in the world. so i'm wondering if you can actually fly a Mini 4 around a built up area without annoying everyone?
Hi, liked your vid, your comparing a drone that is around 895g compared to a drone that is less than 250g? here in the UK there are a lot of laws flying a drone this weight. I had a drone at 560g and basically I needed to be 150m from anywhere & 50m from people, plus I needed a License to fly. I was plotting were I could fly on Google maps with the ruler. It was a great drone btw but changed it for the DJI Mini 4 Pro..
The only reason not to buy the mini 4 pro is cause i already have the mavic 3 pro and air 3. So why the faawk would i buy a mini 4 pro. I live in the USA and drone size and weight means shtz to us. I guess if you live in EU countries where drone law is much strict to drones over 250g. Then get the mini 4 pro. If you live in the USA, get the mavic 3 pro or air 3.
Im new to drones, don't own one yet but have been watching and reading about them the last few days. The mini 4 pro seems to be the one that most people recommend in the sub 250g range. As i said i don't own any and have never even used one, but i think the mavic pro that you are saying is much better and does not blow in the wind is not a fair comparison, looking at prices it seems the mavic is about £900 more, so almost double the price and is heavier. You say that it blows in the wind when showing the shots over the beach, i could not see any movement at all. As i said i'm new to drones but think its unfair to compare with what you have. (Im really disappointed in my ford escort as it just does not keep up with my Bugatti.)... Nice video tho and have learned a few more things from you, tank you
I wish I could say thank you, when every point was fixed with a drone that costs 2x the price as the mini 4 pro. This video just convinced me that it’s worth buying it lol
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
You forgot to mention the price factor, there is no point in comparing the Lexus LS to a lower-grade counterpart, the Toyota Corolla, which is also reliable but less comfortable.
The storage argument is a little argument for me. Sure it would be nice to have 32 or 64 GB internal storage, but would i pay 100 bucks more for it? No, I always use it with SD cards and take usually some replacements with me as well. The biggest downside for me is also the immage quality. THe maveic is really allot better in that way. But the small size, weight under 250 g and less noise are quite positive. It is a drone in a size that i just take with me on almost every smaller hike now. I would not take my DSLR with me as often, just because it is to heavy and bulky. This dron is small enough to come with me and if there is a situation for a short video, it gets the job for the travel documentation done :D
This dude is comparing the mini 4 pro with a mavic 3 pro which is 4 times the price....
an international-class dude
true.
Was just about 2 say the same thing !
Yea he's lying
Everybody should buy it

As soon as you add anything to your drone, its overweight. Weigh your drone with the battery in. Just try it some time.
You’re making it sound like anyone can fly any drone without a license and the same rules applies for all categories but it doesn’t…
I didn't get that impression. He certainly didn't communicate that. There are different rules everywhere. It's on YOU to determine that.
so when your flying a 4 thousand dollar drone you don't have a problem
You have often made comparisons with the mavic pro. I find the comparison inappropriate with a drone that is more than twice as expensive. Besides, it's not a negative point just because another (twice as expensive) drone is better.

What's a better drone between the Air2S and the Mini 4 Pro? I'm more of a casual user and haven't had a drone since the original Mavic.

I think the best drone for me is mavic air 2s, but now there's a problem. old Remote No updates So I haven't used it yet. Until I buy a smart remote that works with the mini 3, from my experience the mini pro4 flies well for video recording. The surfer is not very tall, the wind is not very strong, because it does not have as good wind resistance as a large drone. I still make a lot of drones. Not from falling into the water or getting hit, but because I used it too hard. And the disadvantage of the mini pro, if you use it heavily for 2 hours, the battery will get hot. and remind you to fly back immediately But if you use the automatic home mode, it will be slow and the opportunity that will fall is very high I always solved the problem by flying the drone back myself. And another problem is Sensors often break down Unable to take off, software problems. I have a dream that one day I will have money to buy all brands of drones to fly. I really love flying drones because drones are something that challenges my abilities, competes in drones. The most exciting thing is flying a drone without glasses, but using your own eyes and using your brain to remember the levers and having to survive. Attack other drones that will run to the finish line 😂😂😂 The winner will survive. There is a soundtrack for the competition. Use limitless speed. Below is water, height limit from water level, time limit, and only 3 batteries can be used. I'm just imagining it for fun. But if it really happened in America, many people would watch and be very excited to see who will be number 1 in the world 😂😂😂 Thank you for the video you shared. Your video is great. The view in Hawaii is very beautiful 😇
Man, if the negative points of the mini 4 are comparing it to the Mavic 3, then there are no negative reasons to buy it.
Agreed...
For whatever reason, am considering trading in my Mavic 3 Classic and going to the a mini 4 configuration. Wondering if how disappointd I woul dbe unless I go gwith the mini 4 pro, but then again, that costs close to what I can get for my Mavic 3. BUt given all the hampered areas (Natl Parks, State Parks, etc), I am finind it more more frustrating to have a drone I cannot use. Thoughts? BTW, loved my Mavic Pro (2015), had hoped Mavic 3 with hasselblad optics would have been that much better, and outweigh all the S/W safeguard rubbish & internet requirments hamper this drone. It's questionable....
O wow that's what i needed! Comapring smallest fancy drone to big mavic 3 and saying disadvantages that are coming from its size forgetting advantage which is actually that size! Thanks for review pall!
Great video, thankyou!
The backwards baseball hat is a great way to tel people "I like to look like I'm 11 years old."
I have a Mavic Pro 3, Mavic Classic and the Air2S. I'm selling the Classic to get the Mini 4Pro Combo+ because of the smaller footprint and vertical shooting. Am I nuts?
If you don't have the Mini 3 Pro it makes sense.
Hi, would I be able to use all the possible features on RC N2 that RC 2 offers along with the mini pro 4? For eg: would I be able to use active 360 tracking on N2 controller, etc? Thanks in advance!
Yep! You just do everything on your phone instead of the built in screen
What kind of video is this he wants only like this total no reason to not buy it 🤔 U can't compare with mavic 3 pro check the price also not logical
In 2022 I met an Australian dude in Iceland who had forgotten his drone charger. He was super pissed about it.
The Mini 4 Pro is the best sub-250g drone in the world. Too many rules for over-250 now, in the UK. So bigger drones just aren’t bothering with.
In the UK, to fly a bigger drone now, especially at a wedding (for example), you have to jump through so many hoops. Flyering local houses, setting up take off and landing sites, wind socks, wind meters, distances to keep away from people and property.
Biggest advantages are the ability to fly in more places (in Canada with its strict laws regulating bigger drones), it's discreetness, and the convenience of carrying it around. 🎉
And what your opionion on DJI FPV Mister Danny?
This video was exactly why I bought the Mini 4 Pro. Why, because I'm not a pro like you.Thank you, great video!
Actually the reason you bought the mini 4 pro is cause you couldn't afford the beast mavic 3 pro. Lmao
For really fast subjects you should get a POV or am I wrong?
You cannot compare the Mavic 3 pro with the Mini 3 or 4 Pro. It's just not the same drone category. Might compare it with the Air 2S
I loved the fact that you got right into the info that you were providing instead of babbling for five minutes first, thank you !!!!!
Finally, an honest balanced review! Mini drones are for semi-pro/recreational use - if you are a pro - buy a bigger pro drone!
Woooah, what a surpise! And we didn´t know that before, right?
Glad you learned something new! LOL@@Boroda87
I think people that are pros should know what they're looking for without a UA-cam video telling them.
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
Do you have any experiences with the hyperlapse on the mavic 3 pro? I've been getting constant shakes and unusable time-lapse video's. I gave up trying
Why do you comparing with large amount of drone?
If it's windy.
I bring out my dji mavic 2 zoom
Great video!
I'm simply gonna jump to a conclusion, as I haven't watched this video...I CANNOT find anything my new mini 4 Pro doesn't do better than my old Mavic 2 Pro. Maybe it's a bit less stable in wind, but I'm not bummed in the least. It shoots better, too. Brilliant little machine. The new OcuSync is the game changer for me.
Does your Mini 4 Pro have both HQ and Full FOV 4K video options like a Mavic 2 Pro does?
Agree, also have the Mavic 2, the only good thing is the 1 inch sensor 25% bigger than my Mavic mini 4, the rest is much better the mini, battery performance, size, weight avoiding a license etc..
Thumbnail says it all "Clicked Thumbs down" this was like comparing a Civic to a Mercedes, of course the larger more expensive is going to have more features people may want, but to say don't buy, and contradict with having a " Snag your mini pro here: with his affiliate link, it bad form, Just click bait and trying to make money off of people knowing the Mini 4 pro is a good Sub 250g drone.
1:24 voltage is also a key factor - Air 3 flies on 4S batteries, Minis fly on 2S - that is a significant factor especially when the battery is almost empty.
Price difference between the two is huge. Not comparing apples to apples here bud! 🤷🏻♂️
I live in Canada. You basically don't need any permits to fly this drone. For whatever this drone is capable of, this is a #1 choice for anyone looking to buy something like this in its class. Hands down!
Thanks for the info. I got the 4pro and i will start with this anyway. If i get pro and time i will check the bigger ones. In Finland there is a restrictions above 250g.
but still... how much its mavic 3 comparing to this one ?
iti like comparing iphone 5 with iphone 15
I am looking at buying a Mini Pro 4. I do not use a smartphone, am I able to use a Mini Pro 4 without a smartphone ?
I have wifi and a laptop to set it up. I am in the UK (england)
Thanks
It comes with its own remote control, you just won't be able to get the live feed from the camera, unless you use a smartphone, or the rc type controller with the screen that is sold separately.
@@JuanRamirez-bj6qe thanks
The movie makes no sense. It's like making a movie "5 reasons why I won't buy a Toyota Yaris instead of a Mercedes-AMG GT"
He's comparing a lightweight to a heavyweight. 😂
This is kind of bullshit. Never compare two drones as they are in different categories as specs and price as well
3 cameras for 3x the price. You get what you pay for. I could only afford the mini 4 pro and for someone that never had a drone before, it’s a perfect fit.
The main reason I haven't bought a Mini4 Pro is none of the current versions of DJI goggles work with this drone's O4 video transmission system. Hopefully DJI will come up with new goggles for this new O4 transmission system soon.
Bro, thanks for this comment, was choosing between m3p and m4p. m3p for me for sure now
@@vladvladimirovich912 they added compatibility today
If you are flying in strong wind on daily basis…. Why the hell did you buy a 249 gram drone???
It's not rocket science!
😩🤪🤔
You compare a Mini drone with bigger more expensive drones…come on 🤷♂️
Comparing different drone classes is not a comparison.
Even because of different prices.
Are some of these shots on Kauai at Hihimanu just over the bridge to Hanalei?? Those peaks look mighty familiar 👀
Good advice, but I‘m not interested in all the hassle involved with passing a test, and registering a bigger and heavier drone, so 249g is the limit for me.. 🤷🏼♂️
Drone were made for certain specs..Not all are the same..They have their limitations!
You forgot to talk about the 5 reasons to not buy a Mini 4 pro... Did you?
Fastest humans on a track can barely break 20 MPH. This Drone (not in sports mode) can do 26 MPH. Drone wins!
So whats the 5 reasons why someone weighing 500 lbs shouldn't buy a Fiat 500 ?
Where is the shots that you took in Hawaii live here? That is some nice shots
Are you in Colorado? Saw either Roxborough or Garden of Gods?
So the mini pro 4 is under the 250g limit. Awesome thanks man good to know
I like the fact the video is actually about how amazing the DJI Mini 4 Pro is xD
Pretty impressive, looking forward to learning more. Thanks
does anyone have a Mini 4 Pro who could tell me what the sound is like? how far away can you hear it?
i have an Avata and it was a super fast impulse buy, and i really regret it now
because Avata makes the loudest and most annoying "REEE!" in the world.
so i'm wondering if you can actually fly a Mini 4 around a built up area without annoying everyone?
Hi, liked your vid, your comparing a drone that is around 895g compared to a drone that is less than 250g? here in the UK there are a lot of laws flying a drone this weight. I had a drone at 560g and basically I needed to be 150m from anywhere & 50m from people, plus I needed a License to fly. I was plotting were I could fly on Google maps with the ruler. It was a great drone btw but changed it for the DJI Mini 4 Pro..
The only reason not to buy the mini 4 pro is cause i already have the mavic 3 pro and air 3. So why the faawk would i buy a mini 4 pro. I live in the USA and drone size and weight means shtz to us. I guess if you live in EU countries where drone law is much strict to drones over 250g. Then get the mini 4 pro. If you live in the USA, get the mavic 3 pro or air 3.
Such a good video!
Im new to drones, don't own one yet but have been watching and reading about them the last few days. The mini 4 pro seems to be the one that most people recommend in the sub 250g range.
As i said i don't own any and have never even used one, but i think the mavic pro that you are saying is much better and does not blow in the wind is not a fair comparison, looking at prices it seems the mavic is about £900 more, so almost double the price and is heavier. You say that it blows in the wind when showing the shots over the beach, i could not see any movement at all.
As i said i'm new to drones but think its unfair to compare with what you have. (Im really disappointed in my ford escort as it just does not keep up with my Bugatti.)...
Nice video tho and have learned a few more things from you, tank you
I wish I could say thank you, when every point was fixed with a drone that costs 2x the price as the mini 4 pro. This video just convinced me that it’s worth buying it lol
For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
You forgot to mention the price factor, there is no point in comparing the Lexus LS to a lower-grade counterpart, the Toyota Corolla, which is also reliable but less comfortable.
The storage argument is a little argument for me.
Sure it would be nice to have 32 or 64 GB internal storage, but would i pay 100 bucks more for it?
No, I always use it with SD cards and take usually some replacements with me as well.
The biggest downside for me is also the immage quality. THe maveic is really allot better in that way.
But the small size, weight under 250 g and less noise are quite positive.
It is a drone in a size that i just take with me on almost every smaller hike now.
I would not take my DSLR with me as often, just because it is to heavy and bulky.
This dron is small enough to come with me and if there is a situation for a short video, it gets the job for the travel documentation done :D
How much are you selling the mini 4 for?
Thanks for the video. Going to check out the pros of this drone next.
Thanks for your review...inappropriate to compare it to a larger mavic 3...different uses/conditions
Hello Danny, at 0:29 in this video the camera switches from horizontal to vertical. Is that a feature that the Mavic 3 Pro and/or Air 3 also have?
no
